Carnival Hours & Guidelines

Hours of Operation:

NOON. – 10 p.m. TUE-SAT AUG 5-9

NOON – 8 p.m. SUN AUG 10

General Guidelines:

The Western Montana Fair allows fairgoers room to roam as they enjoy the beverage of their choice. The only exceptions are: no alcohol is permitted in the carnival lot, parking lot, or livestock areas.

All amusement riders must be at least 36 inches tall. The minimum height for some rides can be as tall as 56 inches.

Each amusement device on the midway has been evaluated to determine the physical criteria necessary to ride safely. This includes the boarding and de-boarding process as well as enduring the dynamics of the ride throughout its entire cycle. Most rides have safety systems designed to accommodate an average person. Physical requirements for each ride will be strictly enforced. Therefore, extremely large or small individuals, people with casts, braces, or certain disabilities may not be properly seated or restrained on some amusement devices. In cases where a condition may increase the risk of discomfort or injury, access to the ride will be denied in the interest of guest safety.

Wheelchair guests must be capable of lifting themselves from their wheelchair onto and off the ride or must be assisted by an adult companion capable of doing so. Carnival personnel are neither trained nor permitted to assist beyond steadying or supporting the guest or their companion. Wheelchair guests and up to two companions will be allowed to ride without waiting in line and may also be given the option of two consecutive ticketed rides if ride operations allow.

For guests with vision impairments, someone in the guest party must remain with the guide dog, if applicable. Carnival personnel cannot assume care or responsibility for the guide dog.

Let’s keep it fair for everyone!
To maintain a safe and enjoyable atmosphere in the carnival area, line jumping, disruptive behavior, or any attempts to cut ahead will not be tolerated. Guests who engage in these behaviors may have their ride passes revoked. We encourage all fairgoers to treat each other with kindness and patience as we share in the fun.

Additionally, guests who are intoxicated, smoking, mentally unstable, or actively interfering with safety procedures set by the carnival ride operator will be denied access to rides.
